Dad at Disney Weekly - April 26, 2024

Hi All,
Here is your weekly dose of the top Disney news, tips, tricks, new products, and more! Hope everyone had a great week, let’s get to it:
Things we look forward to every year…Epcot Food & Wine Festival! Disney officially announced the dates for this year, August 29th thru November 23rd. This is actually shorter than the usual time frame that starts in July, so no festival in the summer 😒. We will keep you updated on the details of the festival as they arise, but here is what we know so far.
Well this is interesting….and I am not sure how I feel about any of it….but, Smellephants on Parade is coming to Magic Kingdom 🤔 Guests visiting the Storybook Circus area by Dumbo will now have an interactive “search and sniff” experience with traditional circus scents like popcorn, cotton candy and churros. The first Smellephant has arrived, check out the details here.
Major Congrats…. to Disney’s Victoria & Albert’s at the Grand Floridian for earning a Michelin Star! The first ever Michelin Star for a US theme park restaurant! If you are looking for fine dining at Disney, this is the spot for you and is now officially crowned the top spot. The food is amazing, definitely recommend and again Congrats!
Reminder… Mother’s Day is coming up! Disney Store has 30% off Mom’s Day gifts through Sunday of this week! Pick em up! 😄
